Phil Area Imitates Nuclear Movements with LED Lights

Digital photographer Phil Area is motivated by characteristics, but not obvious natural landscapes like hills, plants and florida sunsets. Instead, he concentrates his work on the tiny micro-processes that make all of that possible; for example, the act of electrons circling an atom. In his orbs sequence, he uses RGB LED lights rotating in different scaled groups angled on different axes to create complex light works of art, which he pictures in a completely dark room. Area mentioned his methods with Wired Journal, but would not give away all the details. “He uses off-the-shelf LED lights and has built an analogue device to help him rotate the lighting. It is human operated, he says, and small enough to fit on top of a table,” according to Wired.

Next on the list, Area is trying to figure out how to creatively integrate styles and tempos in the human body into his digital photography work. “Hall says the activity of human system, as its most basic, is managed by certain axes,” according to Wired. And I for one can think of some interesting-yet-subtle patterns: brain surf, heartbeats and breathing come to mind.
